and here is the full statement

we intend to ensure there is no hanging around in the assembly area with tyres going cold, of course once the track is clear for the next race we need all riders to be ready to rock and roll , this will be the riders responsibility and there will be a strict time limit placed on the length of time the assembly area is open ( i.e. 3 minutes ) before the gate is closed and we race, we intend to try and keep tyres warm by only calling for the race once any fallen riders, bikes, oil slicks etc etc have been concluded, it has happened far too many times in the past that we all are sitting waiting when someone falls off or breaks down and all of our tyres go cold, we intend to stop this happening and improve the show for all concerened

From the conversations I’ve had the general consensus is more racing less time qualifying and better organisation, we will still do a morning warm up, it may only be ten minutes however the plus side is you will be able to have three races in a day, Paul you wrote you could get a bad place on the grid and your right however to make it fair we will draw grid slots from the hat when you sign on and unlike some other clubs we will not have riders drawing three ir four grid positions and keeping the best one, we are still to discuss whether to offer trophies to the first three in the qualifying races or to the fastest lap riders, one thing certain is that your fasterst lap will be the lap that dictates your grid position and we all know we ride faster under race conditions than we do in free practice etc
